Opening a link in new window

I have a button called LOOKUP, which when clicked calls a client side function that increments the nLookUp by 1 and then should open the target URL in new window. How can i accomplist this from cllient side scripting?

problem is pop up stoppers, don't want any thing to stop this from displaying.

It's all in the terminology. You want to open a new window. Regardless of the window's size or content, this new window is a pop-up and that will mean that pop-up stoppers will act on it.

There's no way round that. That's why pop-up stoppers exist, precisely to prevent you doing what you're attempting. You either have to live with the fact that not everyone is going to see your pop-up or find some other way to achieve the same thing.

If you go down the route of using a pop-up, I would make sure that you make the user aware that the link will open in a new window then they can temporarily disable their pop-up stopper if they trust your content.
